Data can be a piece of information or facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis. Whenever we want an AI project to be able to predict an output, we need to train it first using data There could be many ways and sources from where we can collect reliable and authentic datasets namely Surveys, Web scrapping, Sensors, Cameras, Observations, Research, Investigation, API etc.
Sometimes Internet is also used to acquire data but the most important point to keep in mind is that the data should be taken from reliable and authentic websites only. Some reliable data sources are UN, Google scholar, Finance, CIA, Data.gov etc.
